Fourth Azaria inquest 'will set record straight'

The parents of Azaria Chamberlain have made a request to authorities in the Northern Territory to reopen the coronial investigation into the death of their baby daughter.

Thirty years ago the baby girl disappeared in the shadow of Uluru.

Three coronial inquests, a trial, two appeals and a royal commission have all failed to put a conclusive answer on the child's death certificate.

Azaria's father, Michael Chamberlain, says a fourth coronial inquest is the only way to set straight the public record about the cause of her death.

Dr Chamberlain says there is now more information about dingoes and there is a demonstrable danger to children in campsites around the Northern Territory.

He says new information of 10 dingo attacks, including two that involve death, will be presented at the inquiry.

One of those relates to the death of nine-year-old Clinton Gage, who was attacked and killed by a dingo on Fraser Island in 2001.

A third coronial inquiry in 1995 into Azaria's death cleared the Chamberlains of any wrong-doing but left the cause of death as "unknown".

At the time the coroner said it was inherently unlikely a dingo had taken the child.

Dr Chamberlain and former wife Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton want the certificate changed to reflect the role of the dingo in the baby's disappearance.

They say the certificate sullies their names and people still think they were responsible for their daughter's death.

In a statement, Dr Chamberlain says the Northern Territory's registrar of births, deaths and marriages has told him the findings of the third inquest had severely hampered the option of officially attributing the death to a dingo attack.

Ms Chamberlain-Creighton served three years in prison before her murder conviction was quashed along with the conviction against her then-husband, Dr Chamberlain, for being an accessory.
